Although user-centered approaches are essential to create a comfortable and safe HRI, they are still rare in industrial settings. Closing this research gap, we conducted two online user studies with large heterogeneous samples. The major aim of these studies was to evaluate the RB-KAIROS + robot\u2019s appearance, movements, and perceived memory functions before (User Study 1) and after the implementation and training of robot working memory (User Study 2). In User Study 1, we furthermore explored participants\u2019 ideas about robot memory and what aspects of the robot\u2019s movements participants found positive and what aspects they would change. The effects of participants\u2019 demographic background and attitudes were controlled for. In User Study 1, participants\u2019 overall evaluations of the robot were moderate. Participant age and negative attitudes toward robots led to more negative robot evaluations. According to exploratory analyses, these effects were driven by perceived low experience with robots. Participants expressed clear ideas of robot memory and precise suggestions for a safe, efficient, and comfortable robot navigation which are valuable for further research and development. In User Study 2, the implementation of WorkMATe and GRU led to more positive evaluations of perceived robot memory, but not of robot appearance and movements. Participants\u2019 robot evaluations were driven by their positive views of robots. Our results demonstrate that considering potential users\u2019 views can greatly contribute to an efficient and positively perceived robot navigation, while users\u2019 experience with robots is crucial for a positive HRI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frobt.2023.1257690","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]],"date-time":"2023-12-05T07:53:47Z","timestamp":1701762827000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Remember me - user-centered implementation of working memory architectures on an industrial robot"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jasmin","family":"Bernotat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Landolfi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dario","family":"Pasquali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Nardelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Rea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"386","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procs.2022.12.234","article-title":"Lessons from adopting robotic in-line quality inspection in the Swedish manufacturing industry","volume":"217","author":"Azamfirei","year":"","journal-title":"Procedia Comput.
